CX vs JAL NRT-HKG in J
 

Hello everyone,

I was hoping to get some advice. I'll be flying NRT-HKG and have two options;

JAL 787 angled-flat
CX 777 Regional.

Obviously, the seats will be better on JAL, and I think the service will be similar on both, but which has better food on this sector?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated !

Have done both recently, and this is a tough one.

First off: If food is your main criteria, there is only one possible choice: JAL

Some additional thoughts though:

CX's Regional new J is nothing special, but it's not bad either. It's a mix of Premium Economy and an average 2-3-2 Business class layout, for example TK's. Food on CX is generally abysmal these days.

Having said that, I despise the angle flat on JAL. It's a cramped, horrible seating experience altogether. The cabin temp on my NRT-HKG leg was way too hot. Food was significantly better than CX.

As for service: In my book, JL wins on long haul any day - I would say it's a draw for regional though.

Altogether: Go by flight time & price. There's no difference between these two on this route (again, unless food really is your top priority).

Thank you for the info ! I think I'm going to go with JAL ! :)
